Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.

Toast the hamburger buns (optional).

Step 7

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the bottoms of the buns, top with the remaining halves, and serve hot.
